Here’s the recipe:

• 1 bunch of chard
• 7 oz ground beef
• 2 medium onions (finely chopped)
• 1 red pepper (finely chopped)
• 5 eggs
• 2 TBSP sunflower oil
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• 1 TBSP tomato paste
• 1 TBSP red pepper paste
• 1 TBSP red pepper flakes
• salt & pepper (to taste)

Preparation: 

Sauté the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and then add the olive oil, sunflower oil and chopped onion. Stir until well combined.

Then add the red pepper and cook until it is tender.

In a separate pot, boil some water and add the chard to the boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes and then remove from the water. Drain, rinse and squeeze the excess water from the chard.

To the beef, peppers and onions, add tomato paste, red pepper paste and the 1 cup of hot water. Then add the chard, stirring frequently as the chard wilts into the mixture.

Season with the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Then crack the eggs into the chard. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy!
